What we check first in Stourbridge
In Stourbridge, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Dudley Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Stourbridge is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Dudley Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
From survey to handover
Watch how the site works
The free site survey looks at where cars park, where people walk and queue, and where incidents or near misses have happened. You receive a fixed written quote with positions marked.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Stourbridge
Our West Midlands guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Stourbridge firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
After installation
Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
If posts in Stourbridge are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What's a typical price for pedestrian protection bollards in Stourbridge?
In Stourbridge, typically £245–£1,195 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £595 plus VAT, using our West Midlands guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
